Mainline Steam’s popular Tui Brewery trip returns with Steam locomotive Jb1236 (Joanne) and the fleet of Ao carriages featuring large panoramic windows, air conditioning and heating.

We pass through the Manawatu Gorge with spectacular views of the river and the remnants of the old highway now bypassed by the new The Te Ahu a Turanga highway over the Tararua ranges.
Our buffet carriage will have food and drinks available for purchase during the trip.
